Saagar Enjeti of Breaking Points Interview: Anti-Establishment Media

Saagar is the co-host of the podcast and web series @breakingpoints and has over a million subscribers on YouTube. He was previously a White House correspondent for the Daily Caller.

On this episode we discuss media business models, the challenges faced by legacy companies, and the importance of diversifying revenue streams. He highlights the success of Politico and Axios, which have successfully diversified their revenue streams with ads, subscriptions and events.

We deep dive into the current state of cable news and how it is geared toward entertainment rather than information. And we discuss the appeal of anti-establishment media as well as the flaws of the foreign policy establishment.
